weekend in Seattle

Some of my favorite photos from our weekend in Seattle.... our first ever out of town trip as a family of three.

Leon loves playing with his pops. When they are together all you can hear is baby yelping and laughing.

Our friends Phil and Monica brought us to see the Salish Lodge. It was about a 30 minute drive from Belltown- where we stayed. Just behind us is a magnificent waterfall. It was an amazing sight to see!

Leon is so sturdy now that he's almost 7 months old.

It's so much fun to bounce him around and he loves it!

We stayed at Hotel Max in downtown.

Our lovely friend Monica kept Leon smiling during the car ride

from the airport

nothing melts my heart more than watching Leon and Chris bond.

this was at LAX while we were waiting to board.

Early morning stroll w/ Leon. It was lovely despite the drizzle. We kept each other warm by bundling real well and snuggling close with the help of the Ergo carrier

I had to have a photo of Leon completely passed out during take off and he stayed asleep for over an hour. At first I was anxious about him possibly being fussy during the flight but thanks to breast feeding everything went so well.

It doesn't feel like a whole year has passed since the day Chris and I got married. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that we accomplished major milestones all within one year. We moved into the home of our dreams and then shortly after was pleasantly surprised that a baby is on the way. We got hitched and then what seems like only moments later Leon arrived. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if everything was planned- but then again we were never the type of people who went according to the plan. For as long as I can recall our lives have always been lived according to what we feel in our hearts is right.

So here we are a year later- happy and so enamored by our 'lil boy.

I feel so blessed to be with someone like Chris. Happy anniversary bubba!
